Comet$

After a long day at work...she let the candles burn open, pulled off her silver earrings and threw them inside.

Comet is a hollow spherical candle. It has a self-trimming wick that is wrapped around in a spiral to allow it to gradually burn open. Each candle creates a unique wax vessel as it burns, allowing the user to stop the process at any point and observe the transformation of the object from a candle to a bowl.
